MPs debated Bio Mass incineration in an adjournment debate at the House of Commons on Monday Night
Graham Stringer led the short debate, ably supported by Labour MPs, Graham Jones and (our own) Kate Green; together with Therese Coffey from the Conservatives. The MPs articulated the concerns that biomass burning was not often not carbon neutral, and too often damaging to air quality. Kate made the point that the technologies employed were falling short of the best available, and cited Barton.
Disappointingly, the Conservative Minister, Gregory Barker was not keen to embrace these criticisms and flannelled.
The evidence is getting stronger for a halt to be called on these incinerators. We will continue the fight.
